Betting tips – Villarreal vs Sparta Prague – 07.04.2016

One of the four duels scheduled this Thursday in UEFA Europa League will put face to face Villarreal and Sparta Prague. The first leg of the Quarter Finals will start at 20:05, UK Time.

There is no surprise to see Villarreal having the first chance here, despite their recent form. The Spanish team managed to win only one of the last four games. More exactly, they won 2-1 vs Eibar few days ago in Primera Division. The fourth team in Spain at the moment surely wants to get maximum from a game like this one and Villarreal probably have expectations this campaign, maybe to play the final. Rukavina is suspended, but there are three more missing players, all injured: Bonera, Musacchio and dos Santos.

Sparta Prague lost the previous game, 0-2 to Slavocko in Synot Liga, ending a very good run of six games without a loss. Their last two games produced less than three goals so we could expect another tight game here. Sparta Prague recorded six wins and four defeats in their previous ten trips in all competitions, including a friendly game vs Dortmund in January (1-3).

Villarreal vs Sparta Prague probable lineups:
Villarreal (4-4-2): Areola – Mario, Bailly, Ruiz, Marin – Suarez, Pina, Bruno, Trigueros – Bakambu, Soldado
Sparta Prague (4-2-3-1): Bicik – Marecek, Brabec, Nhamoinesu, Frydek – Jiracek, Vacha – Fatai, Dockal, Krejci – Lafata.

Villarreal vs Sparta Prague prediction: Under 2,5 goals @ 1.75
Both teams have very good defenses and we don’t expect them to risk very much here. Sparta Prague will probably try to defend the 0-0, while Villarreal could be happy with 1-0 or 2-0 in the first leg.
